Story about integrity

(1) In ancient times, there was a young man named Zhao Er. He worked as a coolie for a wealthy man for several years, saved some money, and opened a tavern in the market, named "Benefit Restaurant". ".

At the beginning, the things sold in the tavern were really affordable, with big bowls, fragrant and mellow rice wine, and the prices were very cheap. Whether they are businessmen passing by or ordinary people coming to the market, they are willing to sit in the tavern, drink a bowl of rice wine, quench their thirst, and take a rest. Every day from the moment it opens in the morning to the moment it closes in the evening, it is always packed with customers and the staff are extremely busy. Sometimes, the wine is sold out before dark.

Zhao Er saw it and was happy in his heart. However, the handicraft workshop can only make so much wine every day, and there is no way to expand the scale. So he became interested.

The next day, the big bowl changed into a small bowl, and the price was still the same as the big bowl.

Zhao Er said: "Sir, this is a new recipe. Precious Chinese herbal medicine is added to the wine. Drinking it can cure diseases."

The guests are all regular customers. I believe what Zhao Er said, and he even promoted it. Not only were there fewer guests, but there were more guests than before. For several days, there was not enough wine to sell, and Zhao Er made a lot of money.

After Zhao Er tasted the sweetness, he came up with another idea, adding water to the wine. At the beginning, he added too little water so that the guests could not notice it. So Zhao Er became more and more courageous and added more and more water.

After a few days, there were fewer and fewer guests. Later, the guys simply took it easy and had nothing to do.

One day, Zhao Er was sitting in Kongkongjiang Tavern in a daze. At this time, an old man with a white beard walked in, and Zhao Er quickly ran forward to greet the guests. While drinking, the old man asked, "Young man, why is this shop so deserted?"

Zhao Er shook his head helplessly.

The old man went on to say: "Actually, there is a secret recipe for opening a store."

Zhao Er quickly put his head over and asked: "What is the secret recipe? Please tell me. How much does it cost?" "

The old man still said calmly: "There was an honest man who was originally very poor. He opened a small restaurant with the help of others, and soon he became rich. Is there a secret recipe? He said, 'Yes, you can earn a penny from a dish. '" After hearing this, Zhao Er lowered his head in shame.

The old man said again: "Bring a pen and paper over here, and I will give you a prescription for treating the 'deserted pub disease'."

Zhao Er obediently brought a pen and paper over, and the old man Er picked up the pen and wrote two words, then left after finishing writing. Zhao Er picked it up and saw the word "integrity".

Zhao Er suddenly realized that he changed the name of the tavern to: "Only Earn One Penny". From then on, he ran the business honestly and insisted on making only one penny for a bowl of wine.

It didn’t take long for his business to flourish again.

(2) Guo Moruo was very filial when he was a child. Once, his mother suffered from a "sickness". Guo Moruo heard from somewhere that banana flowers could cure this disease, so he wanted to get one. But this kind of flower was very expensive on the market and rarely bloomed, so he and his brother went to a garden to look for it. It happened that the banana plant in the garden had just bloomed a big yellow flower, so Guo Moruo and his brother secretly picked the flowers and gave them to their mother. Afterwards, although her mother knew that Guo Moruo did this to be filial to her, her son's behavior made her very sad, so she educated him and told him to be honest in the future. Guo Moruo always kept this past event in mind, and he never forgot it until he later became a great scholar in China.

(3) In a riverside park in New York stands the "Civil War Fallen Soldiers Monument". Every year, many tourists come to pay homage to the dead in front of the monument. The tomb of General Grant, the 18th President of the United States and commander of the Northern Army during the Civil War, is located in the northern part of the park. The mausoleum is tall, majestic, solemn and simple. Behind the mausoleum is a large green lawn that stretches to the edge of the park and to the edge of the steep cliff.

Behind General Grant’s mausoleum, closer to the cliff, there is a child’s mausoleum. It was a very small and ordinary tomb, and in any other place, you might overlook its existence. Like most American mausoleums, it only has a small tombstone. On the tombstone, beside it and on a wooden sign, there is a touching story about integrity:

The story happened in 1797, more than two hundred years ago.

This year, when the little owner of this land was only five years old, he accidentally fell from the cliff here and died. His father was so heartbroken that he was buried here and a small mausoleum was built as a memorial. A few years later, the family declined and the old owner had to transfer the land. Out of love for his son, he made a strange request to the future owner of the land. He asked the new owner to regard the child's mausoleum as part of the land and never destroy it. The new owner agreed and wrote this condition into the contract. In this way, the child's tomb was preserved.

A hundred years have passed. I don’t know how many times this land has been sold and resold, and I don’t know how many owners it has changed. The child’s name has long been forgotten by the world, but the child’s mausoleum is still there. It has been preserved intact according to one sale contract after another. By 1897, this geomantic treasure was selected as the cemetery for Grant's detachment. The government became the owner of the land. The grave of the unknown child, still intact in government hands, became the neighbor of General Grant's mausoleum. The tomb of a great history maker and the tomb of an unknown child are located next to each other. This may be a unique wonder in the world.

Another hundred years later, in 1997, in memory of General Grant, the then New York Mayor Giuliani came here. At that time, it happened to be the 100th anniversary of the establishment of General Grant's Mausoleum and the 200th anniversary of the child's death. Mayor Giuliani personally wrote this touching story and engraved it on a wooden plaque to stand beside the Tomb of the Unknown Child. Next, let this story about integrity be passed down from generation to generation...

(4) 10 years ago, Wang Shuanhong was a young teacher at Henan University of Finance and Economics. Today, 10 years later, Wang Shuanhong is already a The president of the Green Group, with finance as its core, real estate as its foundation and media as its link. 10 years of wind and rain, 10 years of hard work. Faith-based Wang Shuanhong turned the tide and built another wonderful life in 10 years.

After graduating from the Economics Department of East China Normal University in 1986, Wang Shuanhong came to Henan University of Finance and Economics to teach international finance. She published three academic books and became the youngest deputy director of the international trade teaching and research section of the college five years later. 1992 was the year when China's reform and opening up surged. Wang Shuanhong, who studied economics, resolutely resigned and drifted to Hainan as the executive vice president of a company, operating foreign exchange futures. During those days, he quietly investigated during his breaks at work. Study the operating models of other companies, and work hard to learn practical experience that you have never been exposed to outside of book theory. In February 1993, Wang Shuanhong returned to Zhengzhou, borrowed money to register the first futures economic company in Henan Province, Green Business Consulting Company, and started his entrepreneurial journey.

People who are familiar with Wang Shuanhong say that Wang Shuanhong's success came naturally. In the past 10 years, he has won a large number of customers and friends with his credit, which has also made his road wider and wider. In the years when futures were booming, many futures companies in Henan conducted illegal fund-raising and used the money to speculate in futures. However, Wang Shuanhong did not join in the fun. It was not that he did not need the money, but that he felt that fund-raising was allowed and not allowed by the state. Expressly stipulated. Later, when many futures companies involved in illegal fund-raising collapsed in the Asian economic crisis, Green Futures stood out from the illegal fund-raising crisis in Zhengzhou in 1998. Customers could withdraw money at any time, attracting a large number of futures customers to switch to Green Futures. , Since then, Green Futures has been booming. In 1999, it set an impressive performance of third place in the country in terms of annual trading volume, and has always ranked first in the province.

It was the turmoil in 1998 that made the keen Wang Shuanhong discover new business opportunities. He discovered that after the Asian financial crisis, house prices and land prices fell to the bottom. He realized that this was an opportunity to enter real estate. The best time came, so he defied all odds and decisively registered Henan Anrong Real Estate Development Company to develop more than 300 acres of land in the newly established Zhengzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. Now it seems that Wang Shuanhong is indeed far-sighted. Today, the Zhengzhou Economic Development Zone has become the hinterland of Zhengdong New District. The 300 acres of land that others thought was a wilderness will become very valuable.

Futures made Wang Shuanhong successful, and also made him understand the importance of credit in his career. When he entered real estate, Wang Shuanhong, a layman, once again raised the banner of credit.

When developing the Green Resort Villa project, he went against the traditional model of real estate development and introduced the credit concept, that is, the company obtained the approval of the development zone management committee for land installment payment, and at the same time, the company allowed customers to pay in installments. The "Green Resort Villa" community promotes the concept of green environmental protection, mainly villas and high-end apartments. At present, the property management of this project has obtained ISO9001 and ISO14000 green concept certification, which is the first time in the Midwest.

"Green Resort Villa" is Green Group's first project in the real estate industry. The first and second phases have been sold out, and the development of the third phase has also begun, with a total area of ​​240,000 square meters planned. The construction area will be developed and constructed within next year. Talking about the future, Wang Shuanhong said that as early as the beginning of this year, the registered capital of Henan Anrong Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. had increased to 150 million yuan, and it had carried out a reserve of real estate talents and carried out extensive research on the current land reserve. Market research and detailed planning and design seek new development projects, and are committed to large-scale development, including participating in the land bidding in Zhengdong New District.

Credit is Wang Shuanhong’s business philosophy. Adhering to credit, he has gathered a group of like-minded business partners around him, who form the management team of Green Group. Today, Wang Shuanhong's Green Group has many branches including investment consulting, investment management, real estate development, property management, cultural communication, and bioengineering, and is involved in many fields such as financial investment, real estate, media, and bioengineering, 266 Among the employees, there are 3 postdoctoral fellows, 5 PhDs, 10 masters, and 6 people who have returned from studying abroad. They can be described as elite soldiers. Wang Shuanhong said that the competition of enterprises lies in entrepreneurs, and the competition of entrepreneurs lies in talents and teams. . Wang Shuanhong, who realizes the value of talents, said that he never bargains on talent issues. Green Group allocates 500,000 yuan every year to send outstanding employees to schools such as Tsinghua University and the National University of Singapore for further studies.

Green, English as GREEN, means green. Green is the color of spring. Green symbolizes infinite hope. After 10 years of hard work, Wang Shuanhong led his Green people and finally got their wish. hope.

In the twenty-sixth year of Jian'an, in 221 AD, Guan Yu went to Maicheng, was defeated and captured, refused to surrender, and was killed by Sun Quan. His mount, a red rabbit horse, was given to Ma Zhong by Sun Quan.

One day, Ma Zhong wrote: Chi Tu Ma has been on a hunger strike for several days and will die soon. Sun Quan was shocked and urgently visited Bo Xi, a famous scholar from Jiangdong. This person is a descendant of Bole, and people say he is proficient in horse language.

Ma Zhong led Bo Xi back to his home and went to the trough, where he saw the red rabbit horse lying on the ground, neighing mournfully. Everyone was puzzled, but Bo Xi knew it. Bo Xi sent everyone away, stroked his back and sighed: "In the past, Cao Cao wrote "The Turtle is Longevity", 'The old man is in trouble, and his ambition is thousands of miles. In his old age, the martyr has endless ambitions.' I know very well that you have read the kindness of General Guan, and want to follow it. Underground. However, when Lu Fengxian died in Baimenlou, he did not see you so dependent on him. Why would he commit suicide today and not live up to your ambition?

The red rabbit horse neighed and sighed: "I am." I heard, "When a bird is about to die, its cries are mournful; when a man is about to die, his words are also kind." ’ I’m lucky enough to meet you now, and I can tell you what I feel from the bottom of my heart. I was born in Xiliang, and was captured by Dong Zhuo. This man was domineering, killed the young emperor, and slept on the dragon's bed. He was actually a Han thief, and I deeply hated him.

Bo Xi nodded and said, "Later I heard that Li Ru offered a plan and gave the king to Lü Bu. Lü Bu was the most brave general in the world. Everyone said, 'Lü Bu is among men, and the red rabbit is among horses." ’ I think I will live up to your ambition. ”

Red Rabbit Ma sighed and said, “The official statement is wrong.” Lu Bu was the most dishonest person. He killed Ding Yuan for glory, assassinated Dong Zhuo for beauty, surrendered to Liu Bei and captured Xuzhou, and beheaded his envoy after marrying Yuan Shu. "If a person has no faith, he will not stand." To be named as such a person without integrity is really a great shame in my life! Later I returned to Cao Cao. Although his men were fierce, none of them could be called heroes. I fear that in this life I will only be humiliated at the hands of slaves and die in a stable. Later, Cao Cao gave me to General Guan; I had seen his bravery in front of Hulao Pass, and his kindness on the White Gate Tower, and I had admired him for a long time. General Guan was also very happy to see me and thanked Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked why this was so, and General Guan replied: "I know that this horse can travel thousands of miles in a day. I am lucky to have it now. If I know the whereabouts of my brother, I can see him in one day." ’ He is so honest. As the saying goes: ‘Birds follow the phoenix and soar far away, and people are accompanied by virtuous and high-quality people. 'How dare I not retaliate with death? "

Bo was delighted to hear this and sighed: "Everyone says that General Guan is a man of integrity. What I heard today is that it is true.

Red Rabbit Ma cried and said: "I admire the righteousness of Boyi and Shuqi who do not eat Zhou millet." Jade can be broken but its whiteness cannot be damaged; bamboo can be broken but its joints cannot be damaged. A scholar dies for his confidant, and a man survives because of his integrity. How can I live in this world by eating Wu millet? After saying this, he fell to the ground and died.

Boxi burst into tears and said, "Things are like this, how can people be embarrassed?" " Later, he reported it to Sun Quan. Quan also cried when he heard it: "I didn't know that Yun Chang was so honest. Now that this loyal and righteous man has been harmed by me, how can I see the common people in the world? ”

Later Sun Quan passed the decree and buried Guan Yu and his son together with the red rabbit and horse.
